12. Where did it come from
I wouldn't go as far as saying that the Bush's are completely responsible for our current situation, but I do believe they have ties to those who are, and have done more to feed this frenzy (intentionally?) than to exterminate it.

Maybe we should look to see which administrations have contributed most to the destabilization of the region, and what benefit was there for them and their cohorts to have it this way (maybe it does better serves our oil interests?). Maybe we are trying to keep them how we keep most of our southern hemisphere neighbors under our thumb, poor and with shoddy useless governments that bend to our will. I guess we cant get as good a hold on the Middle East because, maybe its further away? more people? different culture? Maybe if we could just cram them in factories making our shoes, and clothes they would be easier to control. And while they're distracted we take their oil.

One thing is, if Al Qaeda wanted to create a chaotic war on terror, one that is long, drawn out, and confused. They waited for the most perfect administration to be in place. One that would cause a very effective oscillation between two extremes, with most of us caught in the middle.
